Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among pain, depression, health behaviors, and activities of daily living (ADL) in older adults after femur fracture surgery. Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study. Ninety seven outpatients aged 65 or older were selected, who agreed to participate and visited the four hospitals located in G providence. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, a Short form Geriatric Depression Scale (SGDS) for depression, health behavior scale and Korean version of Bathel Index for ADL were used. Data were analyzed using t-test and ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and the hierarchical regression analysis in SPSS 18. Results: Pain and depression were positively correlated (r=.35, p<.001). Pain and health behaviors (r=-.30, p=.010), pain and ADL (r=-.21, p=.044), depression and health behaviors (r=-.51, p<.001), depression and ADL (r=-.29, p=.004) were negatively correlated. The variables affecting the ADL was intake of a painkiller or not (${\beta}$=-.32), age (${\beta}$=-.25), transitional period after discharge (${\beta}$=.23) and depression (${\beta}$=-.23). ADL was accounted for 33.4% in total by these four variables. Conclusion: Interventions for alleviating pain, and managing depression would be effective in enhancing ADL in older adults after femur fracture surgery.

연구목적: 비만클리닉에 내원한 여성들을 대상으로 식이제한 태도 및 우울증상, 스트레스 등 심리적인 문제들에 대한 특성을 파악하고 비만과의 상관관계를 조사하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다.방 법: 2001년 5월 한 달 동안 아주대학교병원과 서울 시내에 소재한 비만 클리닉에 내원한 여성 150명을 대상으로 사회인구학적 특성 및 신체적 특성, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, Symptom Check List-90-R(SCL-90-R), 스트레스 인지척도 등을 설문 조사하였고 저자가 Hamilton Depression Rating Scale를 측정하였으며, 이 중 설문지의 답을 충실히 기입한 116명을 대상으로 하였다. 결 과: 연구대상 중 체질량지수 $25.0kg/m^2$ 이상인 비만군은 50.0%였으며, 연령이 증가함에 따라 체질량지수가 증가하였다(p<0.001). 정상이하 체중군에서 미혼인 경우가 48.8%로 비만군 13.8%에 비해 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.01), 흡연률 및 음주율과 체질량지수와는 유의한 관계가 없었다. Three Factor Eating Questionniare는 체질량지수와 체지방과 비교해 볼 때 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, Factor 2(Disinhibition)와 Global Severity Index(r=0.27, p<0.01), Factor 3(Hunger)과 Global Severity Index(r=0.24, p<0.01)와는 각각 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 체질량지수에 따른 Symptom Check List-90-R의 각 증상척도는 편집증 척도만이 과체중군과 비만군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 대상군 모두 Symptom Check List-90-R의 전체 척도가 50점 이하였으나 각 증상척도는 정상이하 체중군과 비만군이 과체중군에 비해 높은 경향이 있었다. Global Severity Index와 Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(r=0.75, p<0.01), Global Severity Index와 스트레스 인지척도(r=0.32, p<0.01) 간에 각각 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale를 체지방 정도에 따라 정상군과 비만군 두 군으로 나누어 비교한 결과 비만군에서 우울증상이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 스트레스의 정도는 체질량지수 및 체지방과 유의한 차이가 없었고 대상군 모두 높은 스트레스를 느끼고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 스트레스 인지척도가 Factor 2(r=0.29, p<0.01) 및 Factor 3(r=0.37, p<0.01)과 유의한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 보아 스트레스가 식이제한 태도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 스트레스 인지척도가 Symptom Check List-90-R 중 우울척도, Global Severity Index 및 Hamilton Depression Rating Scale와도 유의한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 보아 스트레스가 심리적인 특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다(r=0.33, r=0.32, r=0.34, p<0.01). 결 론: 비만한 사람들은 우울을 비롯한 심리적 고통을 더 많이 가지며 스트레스 점수가 높고, 이는 식이제한 태도와도 관계가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 향후 비만클리닉을 방문하는 사람들의 정신과적 문제에 대한 적극적인 평가 및 정신과적 개입이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of therapeutic massage (TMP) and home exercise program (HEP) on pain, range of motion (ROM), depression, and quality of life (QOL) after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in middle-aged women. Methods: Nineteen middle-aged women who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled in the study. All subjects were assigned randomly to the experimental group (n=9) or the control group (n=10). The subjects in both groups performed HEP for 30 minutes, three times per day, for eight weeks. The subjects in the experimental group also performed HEP, with TMP being performed for 30 minutes, 16 sessions for eight weeks. All subjects were evaluated with a visual analogue scale (VAS), shoulder ROM, self-rating depression scale (SDS), and Korean brief version of WHO quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF). A paired t-test was performed to test the significant differences between before and after the intervention. An independent t-test was conducted to test the significant differences between the groups. Results: Following the intervention, both groups showed significant differences than before the intervention in the VAS, shoulder ROM, SDS, and WHOQOL-BREF (p<0.05). There were significant differences in the ROM of shoulder flexion, SDS, and WHOQOL-BREF between the groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that intensive TMP is an effective method for improving shoulder flexion mobility, depressive symptom, and QOL in middle-aged women after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

The efficacy of fluoxetine was evaluated in 32 patients with major depression in double-blind amitriptyline-controlled clinical trials. Patients were randomly assigned to 6 weeks of treatment with 20mg/day of fluoxetine and 25-100mg/day of amitriptyline. We used the Hamilton rating scale for depression(HAM-D) and the Clinical Global Improvement(CGI) to evaluate the improvement of depression. In addition, we also used the Covi Anxiety Scale and the Anxiety/Somatization subscale of HAM-D to investigate the relieving effect of anxiety. The improvement by fluoxetine in mean total score of HAM-D and CGI was comparable to amitriptyline. Fluoxetine also reduced anxiety significantly, but there was no difference between fluoxetine and amitriptyline in relieving anxiety symptoms. Fluoxetine showed considerably less adverse effects, especially anticholinergic effect and weight gain than amitriptyline. In conclusion, 20mg/day of fluoxetine was sufficiently effective in the treatment of depressive patients and was better tolerated than amitriptyline.

Objectives Our study aimed to present the distinctive correlates of formal thought disorder in patients with schizophrenia, using the Clinical Language Disorder Rating Scale (CLANG). Methods We compared clinical characteristics between schizophrenia patients with (n = 84) and without (n = 82) formal thought disorder. Psychometric scales including the CLANG, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), the Calgery Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) and the Word Fluency Test (WFT) were used. Results After adjusting the effects of age, sex and total scores on the BPRS, YMRS and WFT, the subjects with disorganized speech presented significantly higher score on the abnormal syntax (p = 0.009), lack of semantic association (p = 0.005), discourse failure (p < 0.0001), pragmatics disorder (p = 0.001), dysarthria (p < 0.0001), and paraphasic error (p = 0.005) items than those without formal thought disorder. With defining the mentioned item scores as covariates, binary logistic regression model predicted that discourse failure (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 5.88, p < 0.0001) and pragmatics disorder (aOR = 2.17, p = 0.04) were distinctive correlates of formal thought disorder in patients with schizophrenia. Conclusions This study conducted Clinician Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity (CRDPSS) and CLANG scales on 166 hospitalized schizophrenia patients to explore the sub-items of the CLANG scale independently related to formal thought disorders in schizophrenia patients. Discourse failure and pragmatics disorder might be used as the distinctive indexes for formal thought disorder in patients with schizophrenia.

Background: Ganglion impar blockade is a reliable and effective treatment option used in patients with coccydynia. Our primary objective was to specify the role of corticosteroids in impar blockade. We compared applications of local anesthetic with the local anesthetic + corticosteroid combination in terms of treatment efficiency in patients with chronic coccydynia. Methods: Our study was a prospective randomize double-blind study. The patients were divided into 2 groups after randomization. The first group (group SL) was made up of patients where a corticosteroid + local anesthetic were used during ganglion impar blockade. In the second group (group L) we used only local anesthetic. We evaluated numeric rating scale (NRS) and Beck depression scale, which were employed before the procedure and in 1st and 3rd months after the procedure. Results: Seventy-three patients were included in the final analysis. We detected a significantly greater decrease in NRS values in the 1st month in group SL than in group L (P = 0.001). In the same way, NRS values in the 3rd month were significantly lower in the group with steroids (P = 0.0001). During the evaluation of the Beck test, we detected significantly greater decreases in the 1st month (P = 0.017) and 3rd month (P = 0.021) in the SL group than in the L group. Conclusions: Ganglion impar blockade decreases pain in the treatment of chronic coccydynia and improve depression. Addition of steroids in a ganglion impar blockade is required for treatment response that should accumulate over a long period of time.
